Q: Can President Donald Trump fire special counsel Robert Mueller?
A: Not directly. Only the deputy attorney general who appointed Mueller can fire him and only for cause. But Trump could fire the DAG, or order the special-counsel regulations repealed and fire Mueller himself.
Let's make sure your views on this are crystal clear. Let's pretend Mueller finds Trump's secret video diary, where Trump says ...
"Hi Diary, it's Donald. I'm getting worried now that Mueller is getting close to figuring some of the criminal activity I've been involved in over the years, so I need to figure out a way to block his investigation. I'll start by getting Don McGahn and Jeff Sessions to just fire Mueller. If that doesn't work, I'll take more direct action. I just need to stop that investigation!" A FBI forensics team verifies beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's really Trump on the video.
In that completely over-the-top situation, would you STILL say there's no crime in firing Mueller because Trump has an absolute right to fire the Special Counsel?
I'm just trying to figure out if you think there are any limits at all. Can you give a straight answer?
